Note that the Internals Reference (2.2.65 Mark_engraver) indicates that you need
to move the Staff_collecting_engraver as well in order to have the mark show up
in the right place.

and if the process can be automated, that would be a great help.

If the idea above doesn't help, you might try adding the Mark_engraver to Staff
in a layout block, along with setting RehearsalMark visibility to #'(#f #f #f)
(or #'all-invisible).  Then, in the staves for which you want to have rehearsal
marks, set the visibility to #'(#t #t #f) (i.e. visible at beginning and middle
of lines, but not at end).
